The Mediterranean has long been a favourite cruise destination.

 

A short flight can take you to your embarkation port – Barcelona – Palma (Majorca) – Venice - Civitavecchia (Rome) or Valencia. For those who would prefer not to, or are unable to fly, there are cruises departing from  the UK ports of Southampton - Dover and Harwich.

 

 

A Western Mediterranean cruise can take you to the stunning cities of:

 

Barcelona - Malaga - Valencia - Palma (Majorca) - Tolon - Cannes - Nice - Monte Carlo - Florence/Pisa - Rome - Palermo (Sicily) - Naples and Tunis, each with its own distinctive culture and historical interest. 

 

 

Or fly into magical Venice for your Eastern Mediterranean cruise.

 

Sailing out of Venice is a magical and unforgettable experience. Explore Split (Croatia) and fantastic Dubrovnik, the 'Pearl of the Adriatic' and a UNESCO World heritage site. The vibrant Greek islands of Mykonos, Santorini and Corfu. The ancient monuments of Athens and Olympia (the birth place of the original Olympic Games) or where east meets west in Istanbul.

 

 

For those who are averse to flying, a cruise from Southampton to the Canary Islands could be the answer.

 

In addition to the Canary Islands, ports of call include Vigo on the west coast of Spain, Lisbon and the beautiful island of Madeira.  Mediterranean cruises are only available from spring until autumn from UK, but a Canary Island cruise can be taken during the winter months to take advantage of the temperate climate.

 

 

Cruises around the Baltic and the Norwegian Fjords are becoming increasingly popular.

 

Visit the major cities of Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Latvia, Estonia and the Jewel in the Crown St.Petersburg in Russia. Cruise through dramatic landscapes in Norway, visit Iceland and experience the Northern lights in the Arctic Circle.
